Boycott Rockstar GTA 5
Boycott Rockstar GTA 5
The Issue
We have petitioned for a release we knew was coming, however Rockstar is trying to ride the milk train and squeeze PC gamers for full price, when in fact it is a 17 month old game.
Considering GTA4 took 8 months, and the hardware and software between consoles and PC's was significantly different at the time it was acceptable.
Considering Rockstar has had PC's to develop this game on.
Considering new generation consoles are PC hardware based, and one even has a developer tool that performs the conversion, and they have had access to the "PC" development platforms for over a year.
Considering our continued passive acceptance of their treating us, PC gamers as second rate customers will only perpetuate the problems we face.
I move we boycott GTA5 purchases until the game price is equal to what it truly is, a used 2 year old game. Currently it sells for $32 used, and once the new console versions are out it should drop lower we should only purchase it at $29.99 or less.
